Description

Job Title: Equity Research Analyst - U.S Small/Mid-Cap Healthcare Sector

Reports to (title): EVP, Portfolio Manager

Company Description: Alger's Investment Team is the engine that drives the Firm's strong long-term investment returns of our portfolio strategies and success for our clients. Our investment strategies range from U.S. small cap to large cap stocks and International and Emerging Markets growth stocks, in both traditional long-only and long/short hedge equity portfolios. We have over 50 experienced professionals, led by our portfolio managers and senior sector analysts, who work together to identify and research domestic and global growth trends across all economic sectors to uncover compelling investment opportunities. We target "outside the box" ideas and our firm's philosophy encourages creative and independent thinking. Each investment idea goes through a rigorous series of analyses. Many of our analysts have direct experience in the industries they invest in and/or advanced degrees in their fields. Compared to other buy-side firms, our teams are small - and this "boutique" culture allows analysts of all levels to contribute. Working in smaller groups, analysts have more responsibilities, rather than being just a "number-cruncher" at a larger firm. With that in mind, we focus on investing in developing talent.

Location: Headquartered in New York City's downtown Financial District in a new modern office space, Alger offers great benefits and encourages employees to become involved in their community.

  • Track biotech sector and medical device themes and reporting them to the team, also identifying themes not currently addressed.
  • Understand scientific and clinical literature.
  • Use and create incremental, internal quantitative reports that identify potentially attractive long ideas.
  • Produce reports or strategies enabling the team to focus on areas of market out performance.
  • Interact with sell-side analysts, healthcare industry contacts, investor relations personnel and senior management of companies to develop an investment thesis on a stock or industry.
  • Conduct maintenance research and reports on business news on portfolio holdings. Analyze companies' earnings reports, including previews and reviews.

  • Ability to work in a team-oriented fast-pace environment both while being able to prioritize projects
